As we draw to the end of another Academic Year, it is exciting to look back on all that we have achieved.
This year we will have worked with nearly 200 primary school children,
increasing their self-esteem, resilience and mental well-being. Almost 100 young people in our local secondary schools have met with one of our mentors, changing their lives for the better.
Limitless is our course for Year 6 pupils, preparing them for transition to Secondary School, which we piloted at the end of last year.
This year we have delivered the course to 60 children in five different schools. We already have many bookings for next year.
WE ARE GROWING
We don’t currently have the capacity to meet the demand for our primary school courses and, although we work in five local secondary schools, we would really like to be mentoring in more schools, reaching more young people.
The Hollick Family Foundation have committed funding for the next three years enabling us to increase from 18 to 24 primary schools a year and to set up our mentoring in a sixth secondary school. We are so grateful to them for their incredible support.
If you have a link with a local secondary school that you know could use the support of Connect Mentors for their pupils, please do get in touch.
QUIZ NIGHT
We had another great Quiz Night in March. Rounds covered some of the traditional subjects like history and science but were interspersed with more unusual rounds such as identifying the flavour of crisps. It was lovely to see so many of you in person as well as raising much needed funds to support our work.
SAVE THE DATE
We will be having another Quiz Night! Put the 1st Feb 2025 in your diary and start revising those general knowledge questions!
We are also running a Cheese & Wine evening on 24th Oct 2024 at The Old Auction House on
The Pantiles

THE TEAM
PRAYER POINTS
We are so grateful for your continued support for Life & Soul.
We love what we do but we couldn’t do it without all of you. Please
do pray for us as we seek to help more and more young people.
- Praise and thanks for the generous financial support of so
many individuals, churches and trusts enabling us to reach
the young people who desperately need our help.
- Thanks for our amazing team of volunteers who give their
time each week to work with the young people bringing
healing, hope and a brighter future for them.
- Thanks for the school staff that we work with in schools,
that God would bless and strengthen them, miraculously increasing their resources of time, patience and wisdom.
- Wisdom for us as a team as we seek to know God’s will
for Life & Soul and the plans that he has for us.
- Continued provision of the resources that we need to continue
to help more and more young people.
- Protection over all the children and young people in our area. That they would love their God-created uniqueness and be confident in their voice and place in the world.
